Bluefield University Celebrates Enrollment Surge Bluefield University reported its largest fall enrollment increase in years, led by record online growth and a surge in on-campus students. Online enrollment in the first fall term grew 38 percent year over year, while on-campus undergraduate enrollment rose 24 percent. Both gains mark Bluefield’s strongest fall increase since at least 2018. Several initiatives are in place to build on this momentum as the university continues to expand its partnerships, streamline transfers from two-year colleges, and host events that enrich on-campus life.
